How the heck do you do this?

[bobfoster]

Anyone seen this? Anyone figured out how to do it? Mindless club tricks are fun ... e.g., picking up and bouncing a ball on a wedge and etc. Most just take a bit of practice to get the knack.

 

But this is a bit different. Looks really cool. But I tried this one in my backyard a few times, and almost put a ball through my window. Can't quite figured it out.

By balancing the centrifugal force with centripetal..... 😄

He asked me a while back how I did that!

By creating centripetal force with the rim of his putter.  If it exists, it is always equal to centrifugal force.

I tried a few times - almost did it, got really frustrated.   

Then I went to a Luke Combs concert and got into a fight.

By having a club in your hand every day since you were 3.

I've heard the trick is to do it with a putter that's won at least 10 majors.

It’s really the 2nd one with the walk off that did it for me

I can't "juggle" with a wedge to save my life but using the back of an Anser-style putter like that is decently easy. Especially a big ol' Squareback 🙂

You spend 12 a hours a day on a golf course for over 40 years, you pick up a few things.

Shameless brag, but I used to do this with my Ping Anser 2 back in the eighties. It’s not too difficult with the correct putter. It got old fast among my friends who were using a bullseye putter.

I think the main key is being able to fish the ball out of the hole without damaging the cup.  Or even if you aren't damaging it, to not have someone yell at you or give you a look that you could possibly be damaging it.  

 

I'm sure Tiger can get away with this at any course he goes to on the practice green, but there's probably a reason you never see him do it on the course or during competition.  If I were to try it, I'd probably get scolded even if I were doing it on the practice green.

 

If you aren't picking it up out of the hole, then I don't care what you do with your putter to pick the ball up off the ground.  You're only showing off the fact that you missed the putt.  LOL.
